Chapter 111: Attacking the Heart
"Exactly! According to the investigation of his subordinates, the Yellow Turban thieves in Wancheng are claimed to be tens of thousands, but in fact, there are no more than 10,000 real backbone disciples, and the rest are just some people who have been confused by the Taiping Dao! I hope that after the city is broken, the adults will be able to treat these people differently, kill those who should be killed, kill those who can not be killed, and try not to kill as much as possible! He Xian persuaded bitterly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the people did not have a stable monarch, so they persuaded them to surrender with rewards. Now that the sea is unified, only the Yellow Turbans rebelled, and accepting them could not turn people to good, and crusading against them was enough to punish evil. If you accept their surrender now, then you will nurture their rebellion, and give them the idea of going to war if it is advantageous and begging for surrender if it is unfavorable. This is a strategy to indulge the enemy, not a good plan. Zhu Jun still hated the defeat of Yingchuan, and refused to shake his idea of killing to quell the Yellow Turban thief.
He Xian refused to give up, and persuaded again: "In the past few years, Nanyang has suffered from plagues, droughts, thieves, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and fertile land is deserted, which is the time when a large amount of labor is needed......"
But Zhu Jun waved his big hand and quietly pressed this down: "This is a later story, the virtuous nephew doesn't need to say anything more!" Now the question is how to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief first, and the right strategy is the right one! ”
The main purpose of Zhu Jun in this convening is to unify his thinking and integrate his strength. In the next deployment, Zhu Jun chose to attack from all sides after the siege! He Xian, the lieutenant of Nanyang County, led 2,000 soldiers under his command to attack the east gate; Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Qin Jie, the lieutenant of Jiangxia County, led 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers from their headquarters to attack the south gate; Sima Zhang Chao under Zhu Jun led 5,000 people to attack the West Gate, and Zhu Jun led 8,000 men and horses from his headquarters to attack the North Gate!
The city wall is high and the city is thick, and Zhu Jun does not expect the Nanyang County soldiers and Jingzhou soldiers to break through the city gate, but there is one point, that is, it is necessary to constantly put pressure on the Yellow Turban thieves in the city, and the Yellow Turban thieves in the area cannot reinforce other city gates, and constantly consume the arrows, sassaches and other equipment to defend the city, and wear down the determination of the Yellow Turban thieves to defend the city!
Avoid its edge and frustrate its sharpness. Wait for the right moment and get on the go! I have to say that Zhu Jun's strategy is extremely correct. The yellow turban thief in Wancheng is like a trapped beast, being tethered to a rope by Zhu Jun, if he is not careful, Zhu Jun throws a big stick and stabs him, and after the stab, Zhu Jun jumps out of the circle and continues to look for opportunities. The Yellow Turban thieves were attacked on all sides, and they did not dare to relax on all sides, and the panic gradually spread in Wancheng. At first, the frenzy of uniting and martyrdom slowly cooled, and a small number of Yellow Turban thieves began to consider whether surrendering to the Han army would be forgiven. Among them, especially the Yellow Turban thieves guarding the east gate are the most shaken!
Because He Xian, who attacked the east gate, led his Nanyang soldiers every day, and he was not good at attacking the city, so he was holding a megaphone all day long to do political propaganda under the city.
"Those Yingchuan Yellow Turban Sect disciples who followed Bocai and resisted to the end died a miserable death! Not to mention that the head is cut off, anyone who has a relationship with it will be killed! ”
On the contrary, those who surrendered in time were happy! The imperial court drew a circle, allocated land to them, let them re-educate through labor, and farm to atone for their sins! After ten years, you can return to your hometown and become a citizen of the Han Dynasty again! Those who behave well during the period of re-education through labor can also have their sentences commuted and released early! ”
"The emperor said, only kill those who lead the rebellion! You followers were originally the emperor's people, and as long as you sincerely repent, you will not be killed! The emperor doesn't like to kill people every day! ”
"Surrender! Your great virtuous and virtuous teachers have been besieged by the millions of army regiments of the imperial court, just like Wancheng, and in a few days, they will be wiped out by the army of the Han Dynasty! ”
"Zhang Jiao is dead, the imperial army is going south, do you think it's too late to surrender when the time comes?!"
"What? Zhang Jiao is a fairy?! Do you know who trapped Zhang Jiao? That is the first fierce general under the emperor's throne, Lu Zhi, who was reincarnated from the evil star in the sky, General Lu! He was ten feet tall, his waist was also ten feet, he ate a cow in one meal, he didn't kill people every day, and he didn't know how to do it for years. The immortals who died in his hands, there are not 10,000, but 1,000, just a horn, it's a fart! ”
From talking about policies, talking about the fate of the Yellow Turban thieves in Yingchuan, talking about the current situation of Zhang Jiao, and then talking about the fights of various immortals, the city and the city even started a friendly interaction! Han Liang, the yellow turban handsome who was in charge of guarding the West Gate, had never seen such a shameless Han army. But he did not dare to remove the soldiers from the city. As long as he removed the soldiers at the head of the city, the city would beat the drums and attack, and hundreds of Nanyang soldiers would carry the cloud ladder and kill it mightily. Zhao Liang ordered the soldiers to be recalled, ordered to release the arrows, and the Nanyang county soldiers under the city swaggered back to the place of one arrow to repair, these county soldiers were not afraid of the soft bow of the yellow turban thief. Because their bodies and heads are covered with thick armor, ordinary arrows can't kill much at all, but waste the Yellow Turban Thief's already small arrow resources. After the retreat, the loudspeaker of the Nanyang soldiers began to tell stories again. After repeating this several times, Zhao Liang didn't have the heart to play a game of calf with these shameless Nanyang soldiers. He ordered all his soldiers to stuff a ball of cotton in their ears to keep out the noise from below. As for how effective it is......
Seeing that many soldiers pretended to stuff cotton, but pricked up their ears and listened carefully, Zhao Liang could only smile bitterly. Compared with the daily casualty reports from several other city gates, such a strange scene is obviously much more peaceful. But under the peace, Zhao Liang didn't know what was changing, but he could feel that the eyes of those believers who were not firm in their beliefs were slowly changing. There was less reverence in his eyes, less awe, and more inexplicable complexity, like looking at goods waiting to be sold, which made Han Liang feel more and more uneasy.
Han Liang reported the situation to his immediate boss Han Zhong. Han Zhong was fighting with Qin Jie's Jingzhou soldiers at the moment. The two sides fought all the way to Wancheng, which can be described as enemies. Although in the middle, because of Zhang Mancheng's intervention, there was a tacit understanding for a while, but after all, it was the confrontation between soldiers and thieves. Qin Jie wants to kill the enemy for merit, Han Zhong wants to kill the official for survival, the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, there is only one battle!
In order to cope with the siege of the Han army on all sides, the Wancheng Yellow Turban was also divided into four parts. Among them, it was Zhao Hong who guarded the north gate, and Zhang Ye, who was pro-Zhao Hong's faction, was guarding the west gate, that is, the descendants left behind before Zhang Mancheng. The one guarding the south gate is Han Zhong; Han Liang, who guards the east gate, is Han Zhong's nephew, and leads the Yellow Turban thieves who are pro-Han Zhong. The forces under Han Liang's command were originally because Han Zhong's prestige was mixed, and there was not much loyalty, but after He Xian's constant teasing outside the city, they all had different hearts. It's just that Han Liang can't make an example of the purge movement, because if he is not careful, he will be suspected of annexing the ranks of these small forces, and the internal collapse will occur first.
